01 — Why Buildings Bleed Money
Three Problems Draining Many Buildings and Portfolios
Most facilities managers know energy costs are high. These issues vary by facility, but they are often measurable, correctable, and financially meaningful.
annual HAI losses nationwide
Air Quality Failure
- Indoor air is up to 100× more polluted than outdoor
- Many contaminants remain in occupied spaces or aren't fully addressed by duct-mounted filtration alone
- Filtration performance varies by filter type, airflow, particle size, maintenance, and system design
typical baseline power factor
Electrical Waste
- Harmonic distortion generates heat and equipment failure
- Low power factor and power quality issues can increase demand charges and electrical losses, depending on utility tariff and facility profile
- EMI/RFI interference accelerates costly breakdowns
02 — The Platform
System View — Connected
One platform. Four measurable value streams.
EnergyUpside treats the building as one connected system—recovering wasted energy, improving indoor environments, optimizing electrical performance and verifying the result.
Energy Recovery
Recover energy otherwise rejected by HVAC and refrigeration systems.
Air & Surface Purification
Reduce targeted airborne and surface contaminants under properly deployed, tested conditions.
Electrical Cleanup
Improve power quality, reduce resistive losses and relieve unnecessary equipment stress.
Performance Verification
Track results through real-time or periodic measurement, with BMS integration where supported.
One deployment.Multiple operating advantages.
03 — Measured. Not Projected.

Financing may be available through a top-50 U.S. bank, subject to credit approval, project underwriting, equipment approval, and customer qualification — payments can be structured with the goal of staying below projected monthly savings. Federal tax incentives (Section 179, bonus depreciation, 179D) may be available depending on your equipment, building type, and tax position. Customers should consult their tax advisors.

Reefer Unit Energy Reduction
10-day field performance test on a refrigerated transport unit measuring the impact of energy optimization technology on reefer electrical consumption.
A 10-day field performance test was conducted on a Thermo King refrigerated transport unit to measure the impact of our energy optimization technology on reefer electrical energy consumption.
Using continuous operational data and weighted average kWh/hour as the measurement metric, the results were unambiguous: significant, measurable, and consistent energy reduction from day one.
Real data. Measurable results. No projections.

Weighted Average Energy Consumption (Per Hour)
▼ 1.74 kWh/hr saved
Results are based on weighted average electrical consumption during the test period. Results may vary based on ambient temperature, cargo load, duty cycle, maintenance condition, generator efficiency, route, runtime, and operating profile.
Energy Saved
Average reduction in electrical demand per operating hour across the full 10-day test.
Energy Reduction
Significant, consistent improvement in reefer unit efficiency from day one of deployment.
Generator Relief
May reduce equipment stress, runtime demand, and maintenance burden depending on operating conditions.
Scalable Impact
Findings from this test may inform fleet-wide evaluations; additional validation is recommended before projecting fleet-wide savings.
Estimated Fuel-Equivalent Impact
Based on the measured 1.74 kWh/hr reduction and an assumed reefer generator efficiency of 10–14 kWh per gallon of diesel, the result represents an estimated fuel-equivalent reduction of 0.12–0.17 gallons per operating hour.
Operating HoursLow Est. (14 kWh/gal)High Est. (10 kWh/gal)

Actual fuel savings depend on generator efficiency, duty cycle, load conditions, and runtime. Values shown are estimates only. Results reflect measured electrical energy (kWh) reduction. Fuel savings are not calculated without generator runtimes and fuel consumption data.
07 — Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)
Many ESG Initiatives Cost Money. This One Can Help Pay for Itself.
Measured energy savings can translate into measurable Scope 2 carbon reductions, using the customer's applicable utility emissions factors and reporting boundaries.
